Tropical Americas

People walk towards a vibrant, tropical house with colorful flowers and lush greenery in a picturesque setting, reminiscent of an enchanting attraction you might find at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

The Tropical Americas land will open in 2027 with a brand-new Encanto ride. This attraction’s storyline will be Antonio receiving his gift of speaking with animals.

DINOSAUR will become a new version of Indiana Jones Adventure. Indy goes into an ancient Mayan temple to investigate stories of a mythical creature.

Pueblo Esperanza will be the land’s fictional village and will include a carousel of carved Disney animals. Plus, a new playground will replace The Boneyard.
